I have an unwavering conviction that God will work everything for my good 🌸

A surprising amount of adulthood is finally realizing that structure is not the opposite of freedom. It’s the thing that keeps freedom from turning into aimlessness.

some people are married to the temptation they were supposed to flee from

[Toby @TomolaGroup]

OPay just hired Citi, Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan for a US IPO. Three of the biggest investment banks on earth. Targeting a valuation of up to $4 billion. A Nigerian fintech heading to Wall Street.

SoftBank backed them at $2 billion in 2021. That valuation has already climbed past $3 billion and they’re pushing for more. In a market where most African startups are struggling to raise their next round OPay is heading straight to the public markets.

The timing is everything. Dangote Refinery preparing the biggest IPO Africa has ever seen on African exchanges. OPay heading to Wall Street. Two Nigerian companies about to show the world what this country can produce when the execution is right.

Whether you use OPay or not this matters. A successful US listing opens the door for every other African tech company watching from the sidelines.

nigerians and imaginary “destiny helpers”.

i shouldn’t talk about the state of my own country because of an imaginary politician who might give me a job.

But people will tell you they’re being ‘traditional’ by taking their husbands surname.

whose tradition please?

[only 1 uzama @KaiUzama]

Listening to this Igbo podcast & hearing that Igbo women never used to answer their husbands last names, they kept their last names. And that the tradition of taking your husbands name came with westernization.

How ironic is it that today, it’s perceived as the other way around

Sometimes I wonder what were the animals God made for Adam as a potential companion before he made Eve.

Our evolutionary sibling, with whom we share more DNA than either of us do with gorillas or orangutans.

Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.

In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.

Africa’s most honest architecture is increasingly coming from its women.

Nzinga B. Mboup grew up between Mozambique, Cameroon, South Africa and Senegal. She saw what colonial urbanism did to African cities. Then she decided to build differently.

Her practice Worofila works with compressed earth bricks, typha plant fiber, and self-supporting earthen vaults, materials that have kept people cool in West Africa for centuries. In Dakar, where concrete dominates because it’s cheap and politically convenient, that is a radical act.

She puts it plainly: “Why did we ever stop building with earth?”

Nobody has a good answer.

Psalm 22 is such a heartbreaking Psalm.

Jesus really suffered man

[𝙰 𝚆𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚘𝚏 𝙻𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 @Coleidoscopes]

I have bulging discs and lost three back teeth. I have to lean to the left a little to fully empty my bladder because something healed crookedly. I have at least two debilitating migraines a year that cause stroke symptoms, which started when I was pregnant with my first. I love my children very much but they wrecked my body in serious ways. You sound childish, unprepared, and ignorant to me when you focus on stretch marks over how you can die.

Sometimes we forget that Jesus had sisters.

The Nigerian has been so mentally conquered & broken that he cannot see himself as competent enough to create his own future - and even in his projections of the possible future, he imagines if he's submissive & pliant enough, a saviour will throw him a bone

Learned helplessness

"...why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.”

Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah & Tirzah, the daughters of Zelophehad. Numbers 27:4

Girls, challenging the status quo? That far back?!

Idk how much of Blue Therapy is scripted but generally speaking sometimes I can’t believe how much women are willing to tolerate in the name of partnership. Not even judging because I’ve been there but damn :(

Namibia has Africa's lowest population density (about 3 people per sq km) mainly due to its vast deserts like the Namib and Kalahari, arid climate, low rainfall, and limited arable land. Historically, the 1904-1908 genocide by German forces killed up to 80% of Herero and 50% of Nama people, contributing to long-term depopulation.
